the outline of an ant, and the word نمل (namal) superimposed. they are roughly the same shape, because arabic is a 'cursive' language when it is written, meaning, many of the characters connect on the bottom so as to facilitate writing with pens with flowing ink.

i just noticed that one of arabic's words for "ant" (نمل / numal) kinda looks like an ant....
